# Executive Director

## About the Haskell Foundation

The Haskell Foundation (HF) is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to \
broadening the adoption of Haskell, by supporting its ecosystem of tools, libraries, \
education, and research.

## The Role

HF seeks a full-time Executive Director (ED) to continue to inspire and develop the \
organization. The ED is responsible for furthering HF's mission and vision, ensuring \
that resources are in place to accomplish its goals. The ED will drive sourcing for \
sponsorships, structure the organization, recruit and channel the efforts of both \
volunteers and paid staff.

Working with HF's Board of Directors, the ED will articulate HF's strategic \
priorities and direction. They will assess and evaluate strategies, hire teams, set \
budgets, forge alliances, and build partnerships to further the mission.

The ED will play a crucial role in building the culture of HF around community \
service. HF will succeed if and only if it succeeds in unlocking the expertise and \
enthusiasm of volunteer members of the community. This will be a major goal for the \
ED, so that volunteers find HF to be a solid professional home with ample \
opportunities for recognition and professional growth.

Finally, the ED will actively promote HF to build its financial reserves and \
goodwill. They will secure, budget, and allocate resources appropriately and hold \
themselves accountable for the financial health of the organization.

## Reporting Relationships

The ED reports to the Board of Directors. All other members of staff and volunteers \
report directly or indirectly to the ED.

## Responsibilities

**Organization Mission and Strategy**: Works with the Board and staff to ensure that \
the mission is fulfilled.

* Responsible for the implementation of volunteer programs that carry out the \
organization's mission.

* Responsible for recruiting existing community projects to affiliate with HF, and \
for assessing their ongoing adherence to HF standards.

* Responsible for the enhancement of HF's image by being engaged with the community \
and by working closely with other professional and private organizations.

* Be the public face of HF through public presentations at Haskell-related events.

* Cultivate excellent relationships with the community and operate HF's social media \
presence.

**Organization Operations**: Oversees and implements appropriate resources to ensure \
that the operations of the organization are appropriate.

* Responsible for the hiring and retention of competent, qualified staff as financial \
resources permit.

* Responsible for the effective administration of HF's operations.

* Responsible for signing all notes, agreements, and other instruments made and \

approved budget, ensures maximum resource utilization, and maintenance of the \
organization in a positive financial position.

**Viability**: Develops financial resources sufficient to ensure the sustainability \
of the organization.

mission.

* Participate in identifying and cultivating corporate, institutional and individual \
sponsors.

**Board Governance**: Works with the Board to help it enact HF's mission.

* Responsible for leading HF in a manner that supports the organization's mission.

* Responsible for communicating effectively with the Board and providing, in a timely \
and accurate manner, all information necessary for the Board to function properly and \
to make informed judgements.

* Ensure that HF is in compliance with relevant state and federal laws, regulations \
and with standard accounting procedures.

* Work with individual Board members and subcommittees as directed by the Board.

* Inform the Board regularly of internal organization matters, including relevant \
staffing, funding and program success and priorities.

* Responsible for the fiscal integrity of HF, ensure that the Board is able to \
monitor the financial condition of HF. This means preparing budgets and financial \
statements which accurately reflect the financial condition of the organization and \
are kept up to date.

## Salary and Employment

The ED can live anywhere in the world – remote working is the standard within HF.

The ED must be eligible under USA law and the law in their jurisdiction to perform \
work (as an employee or as a contractor) for a non-profit organization incorporated \
in the USA.

Salary will be commensurate with the experience and qualities of the candidate, and \
will also reflect the Foundation's status as a non-profit organization funded by \
donations.

## Key Credentials and Personal Qualities

Candidates are encouraged to apply with the expectation that the Board will assist \
and coach in areas of personal development tailored to the successful candidate's \
needs.

**Essential attributes:**

* Successful experience in development and organizational leadership in a non-profit \
or business setting.

* Self-starter, with strong motivational and staff leadership abilities.

* Demonstrated knowledge, via experience or an advanced degree in CS, math or a \
related technical field.

* Willingness to execute fundraising plans and strategies that generate significant \
results.

* Commitment to results; "can-do" mindset with emphasis on accountability.

* Exceptional in communicating verbally and in written language.

* Integrity and impeccable work ethic.

**Desirable attributes:**

* Experience at change management.

* Experience in writing persuasive materials including successful appeals, proposals, \
presentations, stewardship materials, and other collateral.

* Knowledge of the Haskell community and its dynamics.

HF celebrates diversity and inclusion, and does not discriminate on an individual's \
identity characteristics. Under-represented minorities are especially encouraged to \
apply.

## Application Process

Interested candidates should submit a resume and thoughtful cover letter outlining \
how their skills and experience meet the qualifications of the position, and their \
vision for the Foundation.
